        No, actually, one thing you've gotta say about these true believers is that they are consistent in their lassez faire ideology. Same with Rush.

          Yes, actually, it changes with the wind.  Beck now supports bailout dollars going from taxpayers into the pockets of select people as a reward for a job that was very poorly done.  This dude has NO CLUE what he believes in until he believes it.

      In this case, Beck is right. The AIG bonuses are part of a contractual agreement that goes back more than a year. Of course, they are insane. However, Congress wants to alter the tax code and ignore contract law to get revenge. That is worse than the bonuses. The ultimate law in America is contracts. It always has been. Now the people who caused this financial crisis are trying to divert attention away from themselves with their overblown rhetoric against AIG. It seems to be a case of "do SOMETHING, even if it's wrong." In this matter, what they are doing is wrong.

      The bailouts themselves are the crime, not the bonuses.
